It's still a tiny bit unclear what the official time and place is though, and whether or not it starts all at once or per region. Also, nice, sick. Edit: I know it's 10 (9:55), I just wanna be sure about the time zone it's 10 in. And then there's daylight savings... Black Griffon fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Oct 15, 2023 |

Here's the US version: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Black-Library Their dedicated black library site wasn't able to handle the demand traffic when they sold limited books so it was moved to the GW main site.

You really only need to be worried about exact release times if you are getting the LE. While hardcovers do usually sell out pretty fast I expect this one to stay in stock for at least a day on the GW site if not a week because they print way more copies of the SoT hardcovers especially these last ones. You could find copies of the first volume for weeks after around the web. Amazon carries the SoT hardcovers as well. For the LE just be aware if you buy it and then decide you need the matching set, currently a full set of all the LEs is running for $2500-$3k. Additionally, judging by the description it sounds like this volume will have the angel/hours duel but the emperor duel won't happen until the third volume. Also they most likely will have the queue system turned on for this because of demand so i would show up 10-15 minutes before the hour instead of the usual 5.

(obviously the whole siege would be cool, but having all three volumes of the last one is perfect enough for me) Black Griffon fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Oct 15, 2023 |

On a less "spiraling panic" note, are the three Siege of Terra novellas worth grabbing?

As with most BL series the quality varies but overall they are my favorite books outside the classics. The SoT series gets the scale of things right more than any other 40k books. The last 3 books have all been amazing and suitably epic. The payoff is definitely there and I would recommend the series for any serious 40k fiction fan. Mortis is the only one I actually disliked.

Snagged the Rogue Trader POD, will be interesting to see what the quality is like. Wish they'd do the same for the Slaves To Darkness / Lost And The Damned books. I ain't travelling all the way to Knife Island to visit Warhammer World to grab them any time soon, and the eBay prices are all wild with shipping to Australia on top.

I'll probably give Garro a shot anyway when the time comes because it would feel wrong to read two out of three when I'm that close to the end, and also the death I suppose.

Anybody dived into Genefather yet and has thoughts? The Fabius Bile trilogy was suprisingly good but that was Josh Reynolds and Haley's more hit and miss in my experience.

Abbadon in the Siege doesn't yet understand the thing he's yoked to. He will, though. Just enough to make him think he has a chance.
